upon the arm OF her son, greatly affect.
ed. Following her came James V. Logan,
the generals youngest brother, who
needed no introduction to the audi
ence, 90 much docs he resemble
the dead hero. Mrs. Logan took a seat in
front of the vice presidents desk, and
Manning Logan and James Logan sitting
on either side Of her. Next sat Mrs

side her was her husband, Mai. Tucker,
and next in deep black, but unveiled,
was Miss Andrews, the fiancee of Man.
ming Logan, and beside her, and
resting awestruck upon her the
little grandson, Logan Tucker. From the
outset Mrs. Logan was deeply affected, al
though evidently under the greatest SELF
control, but when the eloquent passages
OF Parson- Newman's sermon were delivered
in which the qualities OF the dead were
so graphically eulogized, she could scarce
restrain her emotion. At one minute past
II O'Clock the venerable doorkeeper,
Bassett, and Deputy Sergeantat- Arms
Christie appeared at the southern door,
beneath the clock from which depended two
long mourning draperies, to announce the
funeral cortege which was arriving from
the rotunda. The procession entered,
headed by the four clergymen-Parson
Newman, Bishop Andrews, Revs. Butler
and Tiffany; Rev. Newman reading as the
cortege advanced the funeral service OF the

drews, Col. Grant, Mr.. Mcmillan, Nj. H.
Leggett and Gen. John c. Black.
They wore sashes ofblack. with shoulder
knots OF black and white ribbons. They
formed into two lines as they came within
the bar, between which passed the pail
bearers OF the Grand Army men bearing the
casket. The congressional committee wore
wide sashes of white. The honorary pail
bearers and the committee were conducted
to seats on the left center. Senator Sher.
man and Speaker Carlisle occupied chairs
at the presidents desk and the clergy were
at the desk OF the secretaries. The solemn
services were begun by the reading of the
Ninetieth Psalm by BishopAndrews. Prayer
WAS offered by DIR. Tiffany. During the
prayer the silence OF the great assemblage
was most impressive, broken as it was on
ly by the uncomfortable sobs of the Wild
ow, who leaned as if for support toward
her son in whose firm clasp her hand re-
manned throughout the ceremony. Some
selections from the funeral service OF the
Episcopal church EXTRACTS from I. CORN.
thians) were read by Rev. DR.. Butler.
Then the funeral Grafton was delivered
by Rev. Newman.
The proceedings were closed with the
benediction and then the presiding officer
Senator Sherman, directed that the funeral
procession be reformed under the direction
OF the sergeant.at-arms. This order was
the signal for the withdrawal of Mrs. Logan
and the sorrowful members of her family,
who rose and left the chamber i>y one OF
the northern doors. The members of the
Loyal Legion also withdrew. The coffin
was then borne out. attended by the chief
mourners. The supreme court judges next
passed out and then the senator's and rep
resentatives, and in few minutes the SEN
ate chamber and galleries were empty.
The remains were then escorted to Rock
Creek cemetery Tor temporary interment,
where services were performed by the Grand
Army OF the Republic.
